Happenings

Jimmy got married a few weeks ago.

The wedding was a bunch of fun.

Now he's on a three to four week honeymoon in Thailand and Australia.

Ryan and Jessica got married last weekend. Could I be more happy for them? Probably not.

I've been working extra hard to lose the winter spring weight I put on devouring everything in sight at every celebratory event. And by working extra hard, I mean sitting on my computer working on some website stuff for work. And drinking beer. And eating a crap load of Mexican. And now, blogging.

Ryanne and I did go hiking at Moraine, though.

I brought my camera and pretended to be the creepster-type-guy who takes photos of people riding on the paved bike path.

Ryanne didn't notice, so I stopped pretending.

She just danced to Kanye the entire way to the marina.

We spent Memorial Day at my parents making a bunch of food and enjoying the company of some family friends and my wonderful Aunt and Uncle.

My dad and his younger sister relived their childhood playing Jacks.

Joey and I relived every day at work.

Face to face with the Fab Four, then shoved to the ground with little effort.

Kind of embarrassing, but I probably deserve it after many mid-90's winters, tag-teaming him in the snow with Ian. I have vivid memories of him falling victim to the Triple Threat of me, Ian, and The Blizzard of '93.

Yeah. Definitely deserved.

I've been running almost every morning. I'm still a really, really, really bad runner. But, combining my minimal improvement and spotty self-confidence, I've decided I'm going to sign up for a marathon this fall.

I expect to hurt more than I ever have on a bicycle. But, I want to know what it feels like.
